Another great victory by Joćo Sousa, three sets against Simon in Miami, after decent two-sets victory against Carreno-Busta.
3rd round in Miami now. But too much from now-on. Berdych and Isner next. But he will stop immediately at Berdych. Berdych in great form, and a huge server. Joćo hates to play against the big, tall servers, he needs to find a way to practice the return-game against this type of players, since there are a few in the circuit...
But Top40 now for sure, first time ever a Portuguese does that, and he will get direct-acceptance into all the Masters until Roland Garros. Seeding in RG is less than 150 points away, so very much possible, since he will be seeded in Casablanca and Portugal Open, with weak acceptance-lists, that make you think he can reach at least SF in both of this tournaments. Plus Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Madrid and Rome. Not difficult to see him getting those 150 points, that“s for sure. He“s playing and training with so much confidence, that I really see Top30 coming soon! Go Joćo!
